This man wrote a short story in which a character says he could not have worn his "charming monocle" downtown and compares himself to a man missing two fingers but who makes a million a year. In one of his stories, Alice Staverton loves Spencer Brydon, who has a supernatural encounter while revisiting the title house. Another of his stories ends with the protagonist bitterly flinging himself upon the (*) tomb of a woman he realizes had truly lived named May Bertram. In that story, John Marcher refuses to marry because he is irrationally afraid of suffering a great catastrophe, which he compares to the title creature. This author of The Jolly Corner and The Beast in the Jungle wrote a novella in which Winterbourne pursues the title character, who ultimately dies of fever after visiting the Coliseum. For 10 points, name this American author of Daisy Miller.
